Outdoor Solutions Queensland

Outdoor Solutions is a vibrant and dynamic indigenous owned business and is one of Far North Queensland’s leading landscape construction and grounds maintenance companies.

Our Story

We are a local Cairns company employing local people and supporting the Cairns economy. Established in 2008, the company has grown steadily in size and now employs a significant workforce.

Our multi-skilled team has an in-depth knowledge, specialised expertise and substantial experience in all aspects of the landscape and garden industries in Far North Queensland. We work closely with some of the leading Landscape Architects and Designers in the region and have the capability to provide high end quality landscape constructions for commercial and residential projects. We also provide complete grounds maintenance services for commercial and residential clients.

We can assist you with landscape planning, design and project management to deliver your project on time and on budget to the highest standards of customer service and quality workmanship. Our management team include registered horticulturists drawing on years of local industry knowledge, continuing professional development and enduring relationships with suppliers and sub-contractors to provide you with a one-stop landscaping solution.

Outdoor Solutions is continually seeking to progress and evolve staying up to date with the latest in technology, innovation, education, training by maintaining memberships with the following associations:

As a successful business we take our commitment to community seriously and take great pleasure in having the means to donate to charities to help those who are less fortunate. Directors Markus and Tiarnie feel that Christmas is a time to be generous and provide hope to others and each year choose to donate to the following charities:

Mayor’s Christmas Cheer Appeal

Access Housing Adopt a Family for Christmas

Special Children’s Christmas Party

Salvation Army Red Shield Appeal

In addition to charitable donations, Outdoor Solutions Queensland feels very strongly about supporting sporting clubs in our community. Over the years our sponsorship has increased as the success of the business has increased. We now sponsor several sporting clubs including:

Athletics – Individual sponsorship of local aspiring indigenous athlete Carlos Clermont who has represented Queensland at the recent Australian National Titles

Outdoor Solutions has steadily grown over the years from humble beginnings as a one-man operation many years ago to now delivering some of the most iconic landscaping projects in Far North Queensland.

2018 was an exceptional year for Outdoor Solutions Queensland and Tiarnie in particular, with her hard work and dedication being recognised with a few prestigious achievements:

Winner of the CBWC 2018 Indigenous Business Woman of the Year Award;

Obtaining a scholarship to attend the Melbourne Business College to participate in the Alumni Murra Indigenous Master Class Program; and

Being recognised as one of the 100 Faces of Small Business in Queensland.

Through these achievements came valuable business exposure and community recognition. As the winner of the CBWC Indigenous Business Woman of the Year, Tiarnie had the opportunity to give a speech at the CBWC NAIDOC week luncheon themed “Because of Her, We Can!” This gave her the opportunity to overcome her fear of public speaking and to talk about her life and challenges of being an indigenous woman in business in a male dominated industry.

It is quite fitting that the Tiarnie’s recognition and success was mirrored by the exceptional achievement the business experienced in its 10th year of business operations.
